Movies and TV Top Gun: Maverick

Top Gun 2 is out and in theaters and is quite popular at the box office. I havent been to an actual movie at an actual cinema since even a few years before COVID, but this one is the one that has me making plans for a return.

I've not yet seen it. But surely many of you have? A thread must be made!

I listened to a Critical Drinker podcast about this movie and jotted down some quotes:

Guest: "Lunatics just seemed to fade away into the background and this movie has made 1.2 billion so far. I feel like adults are back in charge."

Drinker: "I loved it and I came out of the theatre feeling great and I want all people to experience that first of all, because I think it will be good for...people's outlook on life"

Drinker: "It's this classic idea of the hero you used to love, he's back, he's older but he's still vital, he's still interesting and still capable of doing stuff. He doesnt have to be deconstructed, doesnt have to go through a postmodernist nightmare. That can still work! Thats what people want!"

Proper link to all that when I get to my desktop. But this film sounds great and I intend to see it ASAP. Anyone already see it? Thoughts?
